She is the Widow of William Earle who was a Prime in the Navy and served till he lost his leg in an engagement under Paul Jones. He died on the 12. th September 1821. He drew an Invalid Pension at $8.00 per month till his death and Mrs. Earle rec d . the arrears due at his decease as appears by the rolls of the Pension Office in this City.
She is a very worthy woman but poor & dependant on her children for support.

I am Sir very resp t .
